Repost from Ancient Worlds: The Gallery of Germanic Languages. Here is the Lord's Prayer in the Bavarian dialect of Old High German. Notice the shift of initial b-'s to p-'s, and g-'s to k-'s, as part of the High German Consonant Shift. Here's the text:

Fater unsêr, dû pist in himilum, kawuuîhit sî namo dîn,
piqhueme rîhhi dîn, uuesa dîn uuillo,
sama sô in himile est, sama in erdu.
pilipi unsraz emizzîgaz kip uns eogauuanna,
enti flâz uns unsro sculdi,
sama sô uuir flâzzamês unsrêm scolôm,
enti ni princ unsih in chorunka,
uzzan kaneri unsih fona allêm suntôn.
