There are many terms - illiterate, non-literate, pre-literate, oral, etc. <BR/><BR/>BTW I feel that using a Roman transcription for Greek in your blog is quite natural, makes it more accessible. I think I could take up the habit myself some day, though it takes some getting used to since I studied Greek from the age of 14 to 21. Some habits die hard. <BR/><BR/>Check out this post on my blog, especially the translation at the bottom.
