Lol, Kinda.

The entire sentence, in chpt 191 by Merlin, for the japanese raws was "だが人の命は有限…".

"人の命" translates as "human life"

"人" is actually translated as "man" in japanese and can also translate to "human being"

"人 "translated as chinese character is "people". It can also translate to "human being".

The words used in the chinese raws are "但是人的生命有限…".

"人的"  together translates to "human". If you translate those characters as japanese they would also translate to "human".

The characters in the NNT korean raws, for chpt 191 was "하지만 사람의 생명은 유한하니…"

"사람의" also translate to "human" and "people".

That's probably why in the english version the translators translated it to human.

In chpt 291, the japanese raws stated by Cusack was "｢我ら最上位魔神が 人間如きに屈辱を｣"

"が 人間如" translates to "is human". "人間如" translates to "human being" and "人間" translate to "human".

The chinese raws, of chpt 291,  uses  "我們最上位魔神居然會遭到人類-差辱. " "人類" which translates to "humanity".

The 人 translate to "people/human being" and the "類" translate to "class/type/species" so they were referring to the race. When you translate "類" as japanese it also means "kind/family/genus".

This makes sense when looking at the english version where the translators translated it as "human" in the english version.

There's a consistency throughout each version which translates to "human" in the english version.

The Wizards, although neutral, looks to be familiar with the Demon and Goddess Clan to the point that they would ask assistance from them(by Merlin). Being Wizards, its not really a surprise that they can speak Demon language other than regular humans who were not acknowledged by Demons. Merlin was even going back and forth to meet Meliodas and Elizabeth before she cheated the Gods. The original Gowther, was stated to also be her teacher so that shows a connection that the Demon Clan and Wizards were "cordial" enough to interact with each other to the point of learning their language.

The NNT Movie came out on Aug 18, 2018. Even if Merlin said she is something similar to humans it doesn't trump what she said before in the canon manga. The movie is non-canon and is retconned by default.

Chpt 291 came out in Nov 27, 2018. This was almost 3 months after the movie came out. So there is no more ambiguity and its canon - it goes ahead and confirms what was said back in chpt 191 and, therefore, debunks the already non-canon movie.

Cusack and Chandler are the eldest Demons. The first demons and they know about Merlin and her story so they most definitely know about who the Wizards are and the star genius who cheated the Gods.

With the info they know they still stated Merlin to be human.

So two, in canon, statements of being human versus a statement in a non-canon movie.
