The passage mentions this as opposite. My understanding is partial on this matter for example
Acc to 1st -mandarin is the perfect language for china because it best expresses the thoughts of people of china
BUT
Acc to 2nd - manadarin is spoken because of supply and demand balane..I am not grasping logic.Kindly explain
The passage does not mention this as opposite. The passage states that
each language is a perfect vehicle for the thoughts of the nation speaking it EXACT COUNTERPART supply and demand will regulate everything for the best.
A counterpart is an analogous entity in a different domain.
Or in simpler English, it is something similar in a different domain.
Just as supply and demand work autonomously without any external interference to ensure wants are supplied, so too, each language works perfectly to express the thoughts of the nation speaking it.
