Esperanto definitely has indo-european origins, however it's worth pointing out that native speakers of asian languages still find it drastically easier to learn compared to, for example, English. China, in particular, holds a very notable percentage of the Esperanto community. Esperanto's vocabulary doesn't do them any favours, but the grammar and syntax is relatively easier for them to pick up than most western languages. The vocabulary itself is very small and easy to memorize, since most words are based on combining words.
