The flag of Tuvalu has a few aspects, each with their own unique
representation. Tuvalu’s link to the Commonwealth is represented by the Union
Jack located in the top left corner of the flag. The light blue background
symbolizes the Pacific Ocean that surrounds the country. The nine yellow stars
held by the light blue background represent the country's atolls and islands.
Tuvalu is a group of small islands and atolls that are
approximately 26km2 in total. The islands of Tuvalu hold
approximately 11,204 people with about half living in the capital Funafuti.
However, Tuvalu used to go by the name of the Ellice Islands until 1975. Three
years before they gained independence from the United Kingdom. The name Tuvalu
means ‘eight standing together’ in Tuvaluan which is the primary language of
Tuvalu. Although, some residents do speak English. In Tuvalu there is no point
which is higher than 4.5m above sea level.
