I feel kind of silly for asking because I doubt it's a huge difference. However, I can't seem to find any answers online. I understand that both mean a little as in 我会说一点缅甸语 or 请说一点慢 。

Is there a significant difference (regional, cultural, grammatical, preferential, etc) ?

一点 means “a bit”.
一点点 means “a teeny weeny bit”.

So if you use 一点点, the intensity of the thing you are talking about will be much milder.

I think **一点VS一点点** is analogous to **pequeño VS pequeñito** in Spanish.

By the way, your second example should be 请说慢一点.
