{{lang|prg|<poem>Thawe nuson kas tu asse andangon.
Swintits wirst twais emmens.

Bha atwerpeis numans nuson auschantins, kay mas atwerpimay nuson auschautenikamans.
Bha ny wedais mans enperbandan.
Sclait is rankeis mans assa wargan. Amen</poem>}}

'''Lord's Prayer in Lithuanian dialect of [[Insterburg]]''' (Prediger Hennig){{r|Mithridates|page=707}}
{{lang|olt-RU|<poem>Tewe musu, kurs essi Danguje,
Buk szwenczamas Wardas tawo,
Ateik tawo Karalijste;

Atleisk mums musu Kaltes, kaip mes atoeidzjam sawo Kaltiems;
Ne wesk mus Pagundima;
Bet gelbek mus nu Pikto.</poem>}}

Szwints tiest taws Wards;
Akeik mums twa Walstybe;

Musu dieniszka May e duk mums ir szen Dienan;
Atmesk mums musu Griekus, kaip mes pammetam musi Pardokonteimus;
Ne te wedde mus Baidykle;
Bet te passarge mus mi wissa Louna (Pikta)</poem>}}
