The uppercase-lowercase thing is pretty much unique to Latin and Latin-derived alphabets.

Make that Greek and Greek-derived and it's somewhat closer to the truth as it will subsume both Latin and Cyrillic. Nevertheless, there are alphabetic writing systems such as Georgian that have upper and lower case and which developed independently.
