I have pain on my tounge feels like a sore throat but when i put my finger on the back of my mouth on the tounge there are bumps that hurt what is it?

Taste buds: If you are feeling bumps on your tongue that are sore to touch, these are likely inflamed taste buds. That can happen when you have a throat infection or head cold. As you get better, the swelling in the taste buds should resolve. If you see white in the back of your throat, have swollen painful bumps in your neck or get fever, you should see your local doctor.

Depends on if new: Could represent an acute viral or bacterial process. It is acute that would be the case. If longer like greater than 6 weeks, it could be related to reflux. See your doctor.

Glossitis: The small bumps or nodules of tissue on your tongue are called papillae. Your taste buds are scattered among these papillae. Sometimes, the papillae can become painful. Your symptoms suggest infection or at least irritation.If the pain lasts for more than one to two weeks or becomes more severe, call your ENT or dentist. Gargle with salt-water after meals.
