Could there be an Alaskan accent? Discovery Channel's reality TV show "Alaskan Bush People" has gained a lot of fans who are eager to learn about the Brown family's day-to-day living, which includes raising children off the grid in the deep Alaskan woods. But if there's one thing that has stood out is the family's accent. The attention that the accent has gotten from fans has become crazy that the family finally decided to address it on the show.

"We never realized that anybody in the family had an accent," the Brown family's patriarch Billy said in a clip.

He added that none of the members of their family realized that there was an accent but guessed that they picked it up from each other.

Another member of the Brown family, Bear, 25, said they don't consider their way of speaking as having an accent.

A voice-over on the show went on to explain that there is no definitive answer to where the family's accent came from. The Browns only became cognizant of their supposed accent after the show's first airing back in 2014 and when fans started noticing it.

Fans of the show have pointed out that the Brown family's accent has a tinge of an old-fashioned sound to it. They also noticed that the younger generation of Browns speak the same way like Birdy, 22, and Rain, 14.

Elsewhere on the show, the Brown family matriarch, Ami, has finished her cancer treatment and is recuperating in a home in California. However, new reports that have surfaced stated that Ami still needs more treatment and will undergo a second round of chemotherapy.

Recent development has fans worried for Ami's health as well as the status of the show. There hasn't been any news about the eighth season of "Alaskan Bush People" due to Ami's health condition.
