"I don't know what the level of his English is." or "..what is the level.."

Hello to all the members of such a wonderful forum. I am a newbie. I have a query. Please help me in selecting the better alternative.

Which sentence is grammatically correct out of the two?

"I don't know what is the level of his English."

or

"I don't know what the level of his English is."

Thanks a lot.

Waiting for your replies.

Welcome to EF, Hitesh! I don't know what the level of his English is is correct. It's easy, if a main clause is before a subordinate clause, the subject comes before the verb .

Gencebay90I don't know who you are----yes this is true

I don't know who are you-----yes this is also true
I am sure it is true. It is also ungrammatical, in other words, wrong.

I don't know what dialect you speak, Gencebay90, but saying "I don't know who are you" is not only ungrammatical, but also sounds quite unnatural to my Connecticut ear.

Gencebay90,

Just a little fuel to the fire....

If you could recognize the blue ones being right, why can't you see that the red ones are wrong?

I don't know who you are----yes this is true

I don't know who are you-----
