Who am I? or who I am?

Hi,

I know that it's correct if you say "Who am I speaking with?". What if I add the phrase "May I know" prior to "Who am I speaking with?"? should it be "MAY I KNOW WHO AM I SPEAKING WITH?" OR "MAY I KNOW WHO I AM SPEAKING WITH?"

Please enlighten me. Thanks

The latter,because it's an indirect question. Therefore -> the verb ("am") must be behind the subject ("I").
