'unsophisticated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'orating about point in' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'orating' with letters rearranged gives 'ignorat'.
'ignorat' going around 'n' is 'IGNORANT'.

'a manner that is' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
