As far as I know, Loglan is the only widely known (among 
scholars) language which has attempted to start from 
ground zero and build an easy-to-learn, unambiguous 
language.  As has been pointed out, Esperanto (and 
Interlingua) are highly Indo-European/ Latinate. 

See your library for more info on Loglan (short for 
"logical language").  (And it may pop up on sci.lang once
in a while.)
