In Moodle user preferences there's the language preference. Is there a way to pass the preferred language of a Joomla user to their Moodle preferences?

I've found a way that is working in my tests.

If I set the option values of a CB language custom field to the language codes (eg. en, es, fr, it) and then map that to the Moodle lang field it correctly updates the user's preferences in Moodle. The key was to use the language codes as the values.

Hi. Glad to know that you got it working.

That's correct. You would need to do the same for Country for example, if you want it to map correctly to Moodle.
