literate vs. __________

"Increasingly it is understood that the opposite of literate is not illiterate but oral. The considerable skills, amazing abilities and cultural richness of oral cultures are inevitably lost when the people become literate."
Adeney, Bernard T. 1995. Strange Virtues: Ethics in a Multicultural World. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, p 23.
