I'm collecting information on as many Germanic conjugations of the verb "to be". I would find it really helpful if you could post conjugations of all the Germanic forms of "to be" that you know here. I know the obvious conjugations which spring to mind, like English,German, Dutch (etc.). But I'd like to broaden my findings with conjugations from languages like Swiss German, Nynorsk, Pennsyvania German or Luxembourgish, for example. Any Germanic conjugation would be helpful, and I thank you for your time.

Thanks alot for the links Iversen. I'd previously looked at the verbs on www.verbix.com, but I'm always a little cautious as I don't know who provided the information!
