Diebold was a linguistic anthropologist who specialized in comparative and historical Indo-European studies, theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics and transcultural psychiatry.[1] He was known as a world-class expert on the Indo-European languages.[4] His The Evolution of Indo-European Nomenclature for Salmonid Fish (1985) is credited with having solved the salmon problem and having firmly shown that the linguistic evidence supports the Kurgan hypothesis, which argues in favor of a Proto-Indo-European homeland located on the Pontic–Caspian steppe.[5] Together with Edgar C. Polomé, Diebold co-edited the Journal of Indo-European Studies Monograph Series, which has published more than 34 monographs. Polomé was friend of J. P. Mallory, who would eventually assume many of his duties at the journal.[6] Diebold was deeply interested in research on Mesoamerican ethnic groups, particularly the Huave people, and contributed greatly to the survival of that people. Diebold founded and directed the Salus Mundi Foundation, which funded research on Indo-European studies. Diebold was a great fan of the Middle-earth legendarium of J. R. R. Tolkien.[1]
