Portuguese Wikipedia article on 10¹²

Borrowed from French trillion.

trilhão m (plural trilhões)

(Brazil, cardinal number) trillion (10¹²)
Synonym: (Portugal) bilião
(Portugal, informal, cardinal number) quintillion (10¹⁸)
Synonyms: (Portugal, preferred in most circumstances) trilião, (Brazil) quintilhão

Brazil (along with the US and UK) uses the short scale large-number naming system, while Portugal uses the long scale. The number 10¹² (one trillion) is expressed in Brazilian Portuguese as um trilhão but in European and African Portuguese as um bilião.[1]
In Portugal, um trilhão means "one quintillion" (10¹⁸) but is considered an informal spelling; trilião is preferred in most circumstances.[2]
