Usually its thickening of the upper layer of cell in the surface of the tongue. However there is a condition called leukoplakia that may be a precancerous lesion, cancer is also white but usually is localized in one area alone.
Could be a lot of things. Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies can cause this. However, sometimes helps to just brush your tongue twice a day.
Gargling with warm salt water and adding 1-2 drops of oregano oil might also help.

Either mouth breathing at sleep or some substance is irritating tongue mucosa. If taking antibiotics, it could be mild thrush.
