Languages aren't based of English as far as I've understood. English is a germanic language, just like German (obviously), Dutch, Danish and many others. So it's shared origins but not based of English.
Also I at least know Dutch actually full on has swear words like you describe. I've never heard of another language having something like the N-word though. That seems to be unique.
