Answers:
1) Esperanto is a constructed language, created with the intent of having a language that could be used universally.
From Wikipedia: "As a constructed language, Esperanto is not genealogically related to any ethnic language. It has been described as 'a language lexically predominantly Romance, morphologically intensively agglutinative, and to a certain degree isolating in character.' The phonology, grammar, vocabulary, and semantics are based on the western Indo-European languages. The phonemic inventory is essentially Slavic, as is much of the semantics, while the vocabulary derives primarily from the Romance languages, with a lesser contribution from the Germanic languages and minor contributions from Slavic languages and Greek."
