Can I take GlobalizationPreferences to get the CultureInfo correctly?

Yes you can, I've tested your method, it works well by my side.

I want to know the current language of the device (not region).

You can also use Windows.Globalization.Language.CurrentInputMethodLanguageTag to get the current enabled keyboard layout or Input.
