South Asian English Dialects (India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh): In these dialects, "interested in" remains the most common phrase, but there is a notable frequency of "interested with" and "interested on," particularly in Bangladesh and Malaysia. This could indicate a broader usage of prepositions, reflecting influence from local languages or variations in English education systems. "Interested about" is also relatively frequent in Bangladesh, suggesting a possible overlap in the use of "about" and "in" in contexts where curiosity or information-seeking is expressed. Southeast Asian English Dialects (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong): These regions show a distinctive pattern with "interested with" and "interested to" being more frequent, especially in Malaysia and the Philippines. This might indicate a tendency to use these prepositions interchangeably with "in," potentially reflecting local language structures or educational influences. "Interested on" is also higher in these regions, suggesting a broader application of prepositions in expressing interest. African English Dialects (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa): In these dialects, "interested in" is predominant, but there is a noticeable frequency of "interested by" in Nigeria and "interested with" in Kenya and Tanzania. This could suggest regional variations in prepositional use, potentially influenced by local languages and dialects. "Interested for" is also relatively more common in Ghana and Nigeria, which might reflect unique regional syntactic structures. Caribbean English (Jamaica): In Jamaican English, "interested in" is still the most common, but there is a slight increase in the use of "interested by," which is not as common in other regions. This may point to a distinctive usage pattern in Caribbean English, potentially influenced by the island's unique linguistic heritage. Anglophone Western Countries (United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand): These dialects predominantly use "interested in," with minimal variation in the use of other prepositions. This reflects a more standardized form of English where "in" is the primary preposition used to express interest, consistent with formal English grammar rules. The uniformity suggests less influence from non-English languages compared to other regions.
