People speak in different languages like Tulu, Konkani, Coorgi etc in Karnataka. If Kannada is main language, does the people who speak in Tulu, Konkani, Coorgi etc really repect kannada?

Who told Tulu, Konkani, Coorg people don't speak Kannada? They do. They speak a purest kannada language than all the other kannadigas of Karnataka. Because they speak as in the text books.

Yes. You are correct. Real kannada language is saved by the people in D.K., Udupi & Coorg. Very one knowing to write & read kannada can understand what these people speak. Rest all changed the language as they needed which is not at all in the books & some time difficult to follow.

TULU and KODAVA languages are the offshoots of Kannada language. No where they have mentioned they don't speak Kannada. Most of these people speak very good grammatical Kannada. COORG was a seperate state before state reorganisation.
