Redguards are not the same as Nords,Mer or Beast. They are not human or descendants of the other human races. They have adopted other races culture for trade and through war.

I think they use the term Sovngarde because the game is set in Skyrim. The Redguards are human, and share some genealogy with the other human races(though that is not such a surprise, all races barring the Argonians do in some form), just further back than the Nords, Bretons and Imperials, generally.
