Hello: I would like to learn about Tuvalu. 
 Okay, Tuvalu is a small island country in the Pacific Ocean. If the sea level keeps rising at it's current rate, Tuvalu will continue to shrink, and in 50 years, it will be covered in water. 
 That's interesting! Do you know what the population is living on this small island? 
 I'm sorry, I don't kknow about the population, but I can tell you that Tuvalu is a parliamentary democracy and Commonwealth realm. Elizabeth II is the queen. 
 So Tuvalu is under British rule? 
 on October 1, 1979, Tuvalu became fully independent within the Commonwealth. 
 Switching topics, do you have any information on the culture of Tuvalu? 
 An exhibition was held on Funafuti in 2015, with works that addressed climate change through the eyes of artists and the display of Kope ote olaga (possessions of life), a display of the various artifacts of Tuvalu culture. 
 Is it possible climate change may expedite the rising water levels? 
 I'm sorry, I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that in December 2009, the islands stalled talks on climate change at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. There were fears that other developing countries were not as fully committed to binding deals on a reduction in carbon emissions. 
 Great information. Do you have any additional information on the culture of Tuvalu? 
 I'm sorry, I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that the most important language spoken on the island of Tuvalu is Tuvaluan. 
 Are there any interesting facts about Tuvalu? 
 the name, Tuvalu, means "eight standing together" in Tuvaluan, which refers to eight of the nine islands of Tuvalu being inhabited. 
 Thank you for such good information! Have a good day. 
 You're welcome
Tuvalu
