Repost from Ancient Worlds: The Gallery of Germanic Languages. Here is the Lord's Prayer in the Alemannic 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 unseer,
thu pist in himile,
uuihi namun dinan,
qhueme rihhi din,
uuerde uuillo din,
so in himile sosa in erdu.
prooth unseer emezzihic kip uns hiutu,
oblaz uns sculdi unseero,
so uuir oblazem uns sculdikem,
enti ni unsih firleiti in khorunka,
uzzer losi unsih fona ubile.
