No. Only "Where am I?" is correct. The person is the subject of the sentence. "Where am I?" (not "me") "Where is she?" (not "her") "Where are they?" (not "them") "Where are we?" (not "us")

It makes it easier if you turn the question into a statement > I am somewhere. You can't say " I is " in standard English ( although it does occur amongst certain groups of English speakers - it shouldn't ever copied)

Where is me? is never correct. 'Me' is an object pronoun. You must use the subject pronoun 'I' because person is the subject of the question. You can see this clearly if you answer it. Where am I? 'I' is the subject. You are here. 'You' is the subject.

It the difference between the nominative and accusative case. Not very widespread in English compared to some other languages! I = nominative Me = accusative The grammatical subject is nominative. “Where am I?” is like “I am where?”. Here you can clearly see that “I” is the subject. It’s similar to “who” and “whom”. They are different cases. A lot of people (native speakers included) make mistakes with this.
