‘Alaskan Bush People’ Fans Question Family’s ‘Weird Accents’

The Alaskan Bush People started out the reality TV series in the bush of Alaska. By the time the series ended, they lived in Washington. Billy and Ami moved to the bush and raised their kids there, so that is all most of the kids knew before moving closer to civilization after Ami’s cancer. This has caused many fans to question their “weird accents.”
Here is what fans have said about the Brown siblings’ accents and what they think might have caused the dialect.
Alaskan Bush People Fans Question Kids’ Accents
One thing that is noticeable when watching Alaskan Bush People is the accents of the Brown brothers and sisters. When listening to older brother Matt, it isn’t that noticeable. However, with the younger siblings, the accent and enunciation really get interesting.

A Reddit thread was started by some ABP fans who questioned the “weird speech patterns” of the siblings. The OP had some interesting ideas on why the accents got so bad the younger the Brown sibling got. They mentioned that while living in the bush, Ami homeschooled the kids.
They questioned if the lack of living around other people meant that they didn’t actually know how other people spoke and pronounced words. The OP then joked that this might be why they didn’t learn how to “Propley” speak. Another commenter mentioned that their speech improved once they moved to Washington and were around other people more.
This led to several comments about the Brown kids speech patterns:
- “The vocal fry, especially from Bird and Noah, is like nails on a chalkboard.”
- “Bird and Noah’s accents are “exspecially simular”.”
- “You can especially hear the change in Bam’s voice imo. It’s like the guy trained himself out of that accent to his best ability.”
- “For Bird i think it was her responsibility to raise Rain and she got stuck talking and thinking like a child for too long.”
Alaskan Bush People Kids Possibly Repeating History?
If the Redditors comments are accurate, and the Alaskan Bush People siblings have their speech problems because of isolation from other people, they might be repeating history. Bear Brown announced that he and his wife Raiven plan to move to the Alaskan bush with their three kids.

He also said that his brother Gabe and his family would join them. Noah Brown had bought an island in Alaska but chose to make it a retirement home since his wife, Rhain, wanted their kids to be educated in real schools. However, it seems like Bear and Gabe plan to homeschool their kids when they head back to the bush.
Of course, if Bear or Gabe are the ones educating their children at home, don’t expect things to change too much when it comes to how their kids talk compared to the rest of the Brown family throughout the years.
