This Is What Old English Looked Like. (THE LORD'S PRAYER) by Stormyweather(m): 4:13pm On Jan 18, 2018
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum;
Si þin nama gehalgod
to becume þin rice
gewurþe ðin willa
on eorðan swa swa on heofonum.
urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg
and forgyf us ure gyltas
swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum
and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge
ac alys us of yfele soþlice
(note: the old English "þ" is pronounced "th"wink

The works by Shakespeare are written in early modern English not old English as many people often call it due to its complexity.

note! The English language is a purely Germanic language and most of the letters above in "THE LORD'S PRAYER" are now extinct.

This is what "THE LORD'S PRAYER" in middle English looks like

Oure fadir that art in heuenes,
halewid be thi name;
thi kyngdoom come to;
be thi wille don, in erthe as in heuene.
Yyue to vs this dai oure breed ouer othir substaunce,
and foryyue to vs oure dettis, as we foryyuen to oure dettouris;
and lede vs not in to temptacioun, but delyuere vs fro yuel. Amen.

I’m sure English in a hundred years time will look slightly different from the one we speak and write today.
