What you probably mean is that Swedish, German, Dutch and English are Indo-European Germanic languages which have much in common.
This cannot be expressed in terms of blends, products or square roots from one another.
What they do have is a common root, like
\sqrt(indo-european) $x$ w = Swedish,
\sqrt(indo-european) $x$ x = Dutch,
\sqrt(indo-european) $x$ y = German,
\sqrt(indo-european) $x$ z + Latin + French = English,
etc.
And yes, Sanskrit, Farsi, Kurdish, Urdu and Hindi are indo-European languages too, each in their own right.
