I mean, terms like “eastern” and “western” are not totally accurate, but in general yes Esperanto is a western language, and I can confirm. Essentially it takes after both western and eastern European languages to the maximum degree, and the fact that it became hyper-agglutinating and analytic (I hope that’s the right term) is not necessarily an “eastern” trait. Finno-Ugric languages are not “non-western”, are they?
