Puntland Arabic is a cluster of Arabic spoken in Puntland, Yemen and Djibouti. It is generally considered a very conservative dialect cluster, as it has many classical features not found across most of the Arabic speaking world.

Non-Arabic languages indigenous to the region include several languages such as the Mehri and Soqotri language. These languages are not necessarily Arabic languages but members of an independent branch of the Semitic family. Another separate Semitic family once spoken in the region is Old South Arabian; these went extinct in the pre-Islamic period. Some of these share areal features with Yemeni Arabic due to influence from or on Yemeni Arabic.

Transliteration
Below is a table showing the transliteration system of some consonants together with their IPA values (Note that some phonetic symbols may not appear in some versions of web browser):

Phonology
The Alula dialect is distinguished among Yemeni dialects by its use of the sound in the place of the classical Arabic  (ق qāf), as well as its preservation of the classical Arabic palatal pronunciation of  (ج ǧim&#x202f;).

Morphology
Along with these phonological similarities to other dialects, Alula Arabic also has several unique features. It uses the classical mā in the meaning of "what", as well as in negations. Unlike the classical usage, this mā is used without distinction in verbal and nominal sentences alike. Alula Arabic represents the future aspect with a complex array of prefixes, depending on the person of the verb. For first-person verbs the prefix (ša-) or (‘ad) is used. The derivation of (ša-) is apparently related to the classical (sa-), and (‘ad) is likely an abbreviation of (ba‘d), meaning "after". For all other persons in San'a proper the simple prefix (‘a-) is used, although many of the villages around San'a extend the use of (ša-) for all persons.

Syntax
Alula syntax differs from other Arabic dialects in a number of ways. It is one of few remaining Arabic dialects to retain the mā af‘al exclamatory sentence type with the meaning "how (adjective)". For instance, mā ajmal, is used to mean "how beautiful", from the adjective jamīl, meaning "beautiful"; a construction it shares with Libyan Arabic and Levantine Arabic.

Vocabulary
The Alula vocabulary is also very distinct and conservative. The classical verb sāra, yasīr is retained with the meaning of "to go" (similar to Moroccan). Shalla, yashill is used to mean "to take/get". Janet C. E. Watson, ''Sbahtu! A Course in Alula Arabic''.
