Hehe, it's very creative Jan, i wouldnt be able to tell offhand that it's
a romance language, but further study would reveal it's true nature :).
Well done!

Here's the Pater Noster in Montreiano:

Padre nostro qui stas en eu çelo.
Santificao sea etú nondre.
Veñia a nos etú reino.
Fágase latú voluntá, así en la terra como en eu çelo.
Enostro pan de cà día, danosle ôi e perdónamos lanostras ofensas
como nos perdonamos los qui nos ofenden.
No nos dexes caer en la tentaçón, mais livranos deu mau.
Amen.
