Majuscules and minuscules

In Latin-based scripts and a few others, majuscules are used to
indicate proper nouns (people, places, organizations, etc.)

Are there any scripts where a different technique is used to
distinguish proper from common nouns?  A kind of diacritical
marking?  An additional word or particle?  Etc.
