The Baladi-rite Prayer is the oldest known prayer-rite used by Yemenite Jews, transcribed in a Siddur called Tiklāl in Yemenite Jewish parlance. It contains the prayers used by Israel for the entire year, as well as the format prescribed for the various blessings (benedictions) recited. Until the 16th century, all of Yemen's Jewry made use of this one rite. Older Baladi-rite prayer books were traditionally compiled in the Babylonian supralinear punctuation, although today, all have transformed and strictly make use of the Tiberian vocalization. The text, however, follows the traditional Yemenite punctuation of Hebrew words.
