Describe the feature and the current behaviour/state

MediaPipe Face Mesh tracks facial features but lacks tongue tracking. Adding tongue-related blendshapes would improve mouth animation and interaction, enabling more accurate facial expression modeling.

Will this change the current API? How?

@kuaashish That is awesome however I intended to add the location of the tongue if that is fine.
