Max Leopold Wagner (17 September 1880, Munich – 9 July 1962, Washington, D.C.) was a German philologist and ethnologist, particularly known for his studies on the Sardinian language.
He also carried out pioneering research on the Spanish language in Hispanic America.
In a posthumous review of his three-volume Dizionario etimologico sardo, Ernst Pulgram wrote: It can only be hoped that ...
there will arise ...
men like Wagner: original thinkers, deep specialists, and great synthesizers of knowledge all at the same time.
