Oral literature has influenced written literature by serving as a foundation for storytelling techniques, narrative structures, and themes that writers draw inspiration from. It has also influenced the development of literary genres, such as epic poems and folktales, that have been adapted into written form. Additionally, oral literature's emphasis on performance and audience interaction has contributed to the evolution of written literature in terms of engaging readers and creating immersive storytelling experiences.

I use the term "written literature" to distinguish it from oral traditions or other forms of storytelling. It refers to literature that is recorded and preserved in written form.
One of the primary distinctions between oral and written literature is the mode of transmission. Written literature is recorded and preserved in written form, whereas oral literature is passed down from generation to generation through spoken word and storytelling. Memory, performance, and improvisation are used in oral literature to keep stories and traditions alive, whereas written literature allows for more precise and detailed text preservation. Another distinction is the audience's role. Oral literature is frequently performed in front of a live audience, allowing for instant feedback and interaction between the performer and the audience. On the other hand, written literature is frequently read in private and does not provide the same level of interaction.
Oral literature is passed down through spoken word and is often more dynamic and interactive, while written literature is recorded in a fixed form. Oral literature can change over time through retelling, while written literature remains constant. Additionally, oral literature is often more tied to specific cultural traditions and performances.
Oral is given by speaking, written is given in writing
