For those unfamiliar, a Circlet of Human Perfection is a magic item from the Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage adventure (p. 30). Its description reads:

The circlet transforms its attuned wearer into an attractive human of
average height and weight. The circlet chooses the physical
characteristics of the form, such as age, gender, skin color, hair
color, and voice. Except for size, the wearer's statistics and racial
traits don't change, nor do items worn or carried by the wearer.
Removing the circlet ends the effect.

If I allow my skeleton created with Animate Dead to attune to this item will they be able to blend in perfectly? What about their ability to speak?

The language trait for skeleton reads that you can't speak, but the circlet reads that you gain the voice of a human. Do the racial traits staying the same supersede the gaining of the voice?

A skeleton cannot attune to the circlet

The circlet's description says:

This circlet is an uncommon magic item called a circlet of human perfection. Only humanoids can attune to it. The circlet transforms its attuned wearer into an attractive human of average height

Only humanoids can attune to it, but a skeleton creature type is Undead, not Humanoid.

Otherwise, almost any creature could be transformed into a human with this circlet, which I believe wasn't the item's authors intent.
