Catalan uses dots in the middles of words, as in "gal.les" Cymraeg, to 
indicate that the l's are two hard l's, not one soft one. (The dot is 
supposed to be raised, but I can't type that.)

Several languages, notably Bantu but I've also seen it in Portuguese and 
Irish, capitalize letters in the middle of words.
