The Welsh Not or Welsh Note was a punishment system used in Wales Welsh schools in the late 19th and early 20th century to dissuade children from speaking Welsh language Welsh . It was represented as a piece of wood, inscribed with the letters WN , that was hung round the necks of children who spoke Welsh in some school s in the 19th century. The not was given to any child overheard speaking Welsh, who would pass it to a different child if overheard speaking Welsh. By the end of the day, the wearer of the not would be given a corporal punishment lashing . The idea of the not was to discourage pupils from speaking Welsh, at a time when English language English was considered by some to be the only suitable medium of instruction .
