The word 'hillock' is used in both American English and British English without significant variation. In Brazilian Portuguese, 'pequena colina' is the standard term, though in regions with geographic prominence (like Rio de Janeiro with its famous 'morros'), locals may use regional variations. The term appears frequently in literature, particularly in pastoral or countryside descriptions.
