Hello, I'm interested in learning about Tristan da Cunha. Can you tell me something about the demographics? 
 Sure! Tristan da Cunha is a group of remote volcanic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean and also the main island of that group. in 2009, the island had a permanent population of 275 people. 
 Wow! Only 275 people?! What more can you tell me about the permanent population? 
 I know! So small! After the volcanic eruption in 1961 residents returned in 1963. The 200 settlers included 4 native women who brought with them new English husbands. 
 Oh my! Can you tell me more about the native women and the English husbands? 
 I don't have any more information on them I'm sorry. I can tell you that the isolation of the island has led to a development of an unusual, patois-like dialect of English described as "a sonorous amalgam of Home Counties lockjaw and 19th century idiom, Afrikaans slang, and Italian". 
 Ok, that is interesting. Can you tell me something about Tristan da Cunha in popular culture? 
 Of course! The island is referred to in Verne's novel, "The Sphinx of the Ice Fields" which he wrote as a sequel to Poe's, "Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket". 
 I'm definitely a fan! Is there more you can tell me about that? 
 In Wim Wnders' film, 'Wings of Desire', a dying man recollects the things that meant most to him mentions the island. Also, 37 degrees 4 S is a short film about two teenagers who live on the island. 
 That is super interesting such a small island has so much influence in popular culture! Do you have another fun fact about that? 
 I have nothing else of them in popular culture, however, I can tell you that there is one island on the school, St Mary's School, which teaches and serves children from ages 4 to 16. 
 Oh my goodness! One school on the island? Can you tell me more about that? 
 I have no more information on the school, I'm sorry. I can tell you that 42% of the population has asthma. 
 Ok, thanks for all the great Tristan da Cunha facts especially the demographics and popular culture! 
 You're very welcome! It was my pleasure.
